The Internet: A Digital City

Think of the internet as a massive city, where:

• Websites are buildings
• Servers are office buildings
• Browsers are your personal cars
• APIs are the city's public services
• DNS is the city's address system

How Web Apps Work: A Restaurant Analogy 🍽️

sequenceDiagram
    Customer->>+Waiter: Place Order (HTTP Request)
    Waiter->>+Kitchen: Order Details (API Call)
    Kitchen->>+Database: Get Recipe (Query)
    Database-->>-Kitchen: Recipe Data
    Kitchen-->>-Waiter: Prepared Food (Response)
    Waiter-->>-Customer: Serve Food (HTML/CSS/JS)

In this analogy:

• Customer = User (You)
• Waiter = Frontend (Browser)
• Kitchen = Backend (Server)
• Recipe Book = Database
• Order = HTTP Request
• Food = Web Content

The Computer: A Digital Factory 🏭

Your computer operates like a factory with different departments:

Web Development: Building Digital Products

Just like building a house:

Where:

• Script = Your Code
• Cast = Parsed Code
• Rehearse = Compilation
• Performance = Execution
• Audience = Users
